Wie können wir Menschen wirklich davon abhalten, immer wieder auf diese Weise mit ihren Krypto-Konten betrogen zu werden? Geschichten wie diese sehe ich fast jeden Tag, und es wird trotz ständiger FBI-Warnungen usw. nicht besser. Welche Art von echten Maßnahmen und Ratschlägen können all diese Idioten dazu bringen, sich einem solchen Betrug zu widersetzen? Ich kenne sogar einen Reporter, der sich speziell mit Krypto beschäftigt und Opfer eines monatelangen Schweineschlachtbetrugs wurde (er hatte einfach Glück, dass er am Ende nicht wie so viele andere Millionen verlor).
Nur ernst gemeinte Antworten – was kann man hier tun?

Regulation and enforcement for one thing. Crypto is historically really good at separating stupid people and their money.
A person with this little street smarts has no business having 10k in crypto let alone 1m.
tldr; A North Carolina man, Gene Duckett, lost over $1 million in cryptocurrency within 10 minutes due to a social engineering scam. Scammers posing as representatives from Ledger, his hardware wallet provider, convinced him to enter his 24-word seed phrase on a fake website. This incident highlights the growing risks of cryptocurrency scams, which rely on manipulating victims emotionally rather than technical hacking. Experts emphasize never sharing seed phrases and being cautious of unsolicited calls or urgent requests to protect digital assets.

We’re always told never share your seed phrase.
He shared his seed phrase.
$1M is a big pay day for that scammer.
Every guide for hardware wallets repeatedly reminds you to never enter your passphrase in anything but the hardware wallet, or a paper backup. There’s nothing to be done for people who refuse to educate themselves on basic security.
These are mostly older people falling for such scams.
Sadly, it’s quite difficult to educate them properly about Crypto safety at this age.
